@ashleyyrain biggest lie capitalism sells you : "you cant buy happyness"

the second lie it tells you is that said hapiness should come at a cost

@Li @ashleyyrain
I say if money doesn't make you happy, then why don't the elites just give all of theirs away?

@Phracker2Art @ashleyyrain to be fair here my impression from looking at the likes of the elon musks or bill gates of the world .. is that they aren't actually very happy .. i this meant more like basic necessities being met, but also things meant as entertainment, like music, movies, games, etc; or otherwise to be enjoyable are also offered at a fee- so bleh, its nuanced xS

.. i would say that money gives you societal power, and lets you have control over others; and like status, and thats probably what most of the elite is actually after ..

@Li @Phracker2Art @ashleyyrain yeah there is that, kind of in the same way using a god cheat code in a shooter game makes you happy for like 5 seconds before it becomes boring 😅

I guess the caveat is « money to a certain amount can buy you happiness and everything after that makes you awful »
